  -see if your new changes fit your new requirements and every requirement that came before this
  -fewer bugs in your code
  -provides a clear goal in the development (to pass all your tests)
  -allows for automation and continuous integration, ensuring that our application won’t break
  -a lot of time saved down the line! (Think about refactoring.)
  
  ##RSpec
